Tomorrow's Thanksgiving, and (usually) every year South Park does some sort of special, as they are doing again tomorrow. I've done a couple of analyses on South Park episodes because I find the show funny, and the plot lines strangely line up with recent events. So today I'm doing another one, and encourage others to watch the special tomorrow night as the writers always seem to drop some hints on reality throughout their shows, as they did with the pandemic special. If you're interested, here's my previous SoPa analysis: https://greatawakening.win/p/13zMikpHsH/continuing-south-park-analysis/

Today, I'll be going over S12 E12, "About Last Night...", as it surrounds the 2008 presidential election. Here's the script for those that would like to follow along and read for themselves: https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/About_Last_Night.../Script So this one's pretty self explanatory if you're already on GAW, but it's not super obvious.

The episode begins with Obama being announced the winner, Randy and some are Obummer supporters so they are celebrating. There are some exchanges between the Obummer supporters and McNonames, yada yada yada, fast forward a couple of minutes and Obama steps past the press into the white house double doors. Out of the shadows appears McCain and it appears there's going to be an altercation, but then they both laugh and go "Boom baby!" in unison. So at this point in the episode we've learned that Obama and McCain both ran to be president so that one of them HAD to win and be installed into the White House. This itself is interesting and applicable to what has happened in real life, but for what reason do they want to get in?

Shortly thereafter the viewer learns that the main reason they are wanting to get into the White House is because they are apart of an elite criminal heist group. What do they want to steal this time? The diamond known as the "Hope Diamond", which is actually a real diamond, secured inside of the Smithsonian museum in real life as well as in the episode. Well this gets interesting for a couple of reasons. McCain and Obama are stealing "hope" for one. That checks a box. Secondly, Trump often mentions that if a diamond is stolen, it should be returned to its rightful owner, referencing the 2020 election and its fraudulence.

There's not really much more analysis, as I said it was pretty self-explanatory if you watched the episode. The only other part of the episode worth mentioning really is that in the episode, once they successfully steal the diamond, their plan is to fake their death in a plane crash, but Obama and Michelle decide to give being president and lady a whirl. Ike, Kyle's little brother, is essentially a sleeper agent up until the end of the episode where he detonates the explosives that blow up the plane that is supposedly flying the presidential crew.

If you've got any further analysis on the Hope Diamond or anything related to the episode, please comment. Kind of grasping at straws with this episode, but thought it was interesting nonetheless.
